Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman registered the best season of his career and capped it off with another touchdown in the loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The fourth-year wideout out of Minnesota finished the game with four receptions on five targets for 66 yards and a touchdown which brought his total to 11 touchdowns between the regular and postseason. Most of his damage came in the first half along with his 16-yard catch that kicked off all of the scoring in the opening drive. Bateman still has another year left on his contract, so he's likely looking at more of the same role going into the 2025 season.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely stepped up again with Zay Flowers (knee) missing another playoff game but it ultimately wasn't enough as they fell by two points to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Likely ended the game with four receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown on five targets. While he wasn't the most targeted out of all of the pass-catchers, he did lead them in yards with one fewer reception than Mark Andrews. Likely had more than a few flashes of brilliance this season which could have earned him some more snaps heading into the 2025 season. A lot will depend on the off-season moves that the Ravens make to try to get over the hump in the playoffs.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews turned in another big-time season and was one of the most dependable pass-catchers on the team for a long time. Unfortunately, he made two crucial mistakes in the second half of the 27-25 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round. The veteran finished with five receptions for 61 yards on seven targets and two carries for three yards. What's going to be the most memorable are the back-to-back drives that ended in Andrews' mistakes to end the game. He fumbled in the second to last drive, then he saw the potential game-tying catch go right off of his hands without a defender near him. Despite the rough game, he should still remain a top fantasy option at the position next season.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said on Monday that he will consider replacing offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, who are both expected to become head coaches elsewhere, with coordinators from outside the organization. However, Campbell also said that the Lions already have coaches that are more than capable of being promoted into the offensive and defensive coordinator roles. The most important factor for Campbell when considering hiring new coaches for those roles is that the Lions keep their current identity in place that has made them so successful the last several years. Campbell said the Lions are going to stay true to who they are as a team despite a disappointing 45-31 upset loss to the Washington Commanders in the Divisional Round of the playoffs this past weekend.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Dallas Cowboys are scheduled to interview Seattle Seahawks assistant head coach Leslie Frazier for their head-coach vacancy on Monday. Although the meeting with Frazier is the Cowboys' last scheduled interview after they talked with Robert Saleh and Kellen Moore over the weekend, Rapoport gets the sense that the team isn't close to deciding on a new head coach and will talk with other candidates down the road. Frazier is a long-time defensive coordinator in the NFL, most recently for the Buffalo Bills from 2017-22. He took the year off in 2023 before joining the Seahawks in 2024. Frazier won a Super Bowl as a player in 1985 with the Chicago Bears and also served as the head coach with the Minnesota Vikings from 2011-13, going 21-32-1 during that span.

When asked about a potential contract extension now that he's eligible for one, Houston Texans cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. said, "Yeah I want to be here forever." The 23-year-old former third overall pick by the Texans in the 2022 NFL draft out of LSU just wrapped up his third year in the NFL and was a Pro Bowler and All-Pro for the first time in his career. In 17 regular-season starts for the Texans in 2024, Stingley had a career-high 54 tackles (37 solo), a career-high-tying five interceptions and four tackles for loss. If the Texans don't give Stingley a long-term contract extension this offseason, they will most likely pick up his fifth-year option to at least keep him around through the 2026 season. He played a career-high 1,012 defensive snaps for the Texans this year and is surely well-deserving of a contract extension either this offseason or next.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport gets the sense that the Dallas Cowboys aren't close at all to wrapping up their search for their next head coach. Dallas is expected to take their time and talk to more candidates after already interviewing Robert Saleh and Kellen Moore over the weekend. Rapoport said he wouldn't be surprised if the Cowboys put in a request to interview Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury whenever Washington's season is over. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero mentions that Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady is a popular head-coaching candidate this cycle and has already interviewed with the Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars and New Orleans Saints for their head-coaching vacancies, so he could be another name that Dallas looks at. The Commanders and Bills are still alive in the postseason, so Dallas would have to wait to interview them.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the New Orleans Saints are flying in New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka on Monday for a second interview for their head-coaching job that will take place on Tuesday, according to sources. Despite never holding a head-coaching position in the NFL, Kafka has been a finalist for three head-coaching jobs in the last two cycles and is now a finalist in New Orleans. Kafka was a former Northwestern quarterback and was a fourth-round pick in the 2010 NFL draft. He went on to play in just four games with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011. Kafka was with the Kansas City Chiefs from 2017-21, going from quality-control coach to quarterbacks coach for Patrick Mahomes' first two years as a starter. He became the Giants' offensive coordinator in 2022 and added assistant head coach to his title this past season.

After losing to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford said he would "take some time to think about it" when asked about his future. When asked about whether he has football left in him, Stafford said, "Sure feels like it." The 36-year-old nearly led the Rams to an improbable come-from-behind win in a blizzard in Philly, throwing for a season-high 324 yards and two touchdowns while also losing a fumble. He has two years left on his current deal. Stafford has 15 passing touchdowns in the playoffs for LA, tying Kurt Warner for the most in team history. Stafford finished the regular season as the QB19 in overall fantasy points with 3,762 passing yards, 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions. If he returns in 2025, his lack of rushing ability limits his fantasy upside as a QB2.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry capped off another fantastic year with a touchdown despite the team getting away from the run when they could have used it the most in the two-point loss to the Buffalo Bills. He finished the game with 16 carries for 84 yards and a touchdown to go along with two targets, but he didn't haul any of those in. The Ravens had short spurts of committing to the run, then they ultimately got away from it as the game went on. In two postseason games, Henry accumulated 270 yards on the ground and three touchdowns. Henry and Lamar Jackson will look for redemption next season while the Ravens look to re-tool on both sides of the ball.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson committed a couple of uncharacteristic turnovers in the first half on Sunday, but almost turned it all around in the second half. During the 27-25 loss to the Bills, Jackson finished with 254 yards and one interception on 18-for-25 throwing while gathering 39 yards on six carries and a fumble. He did a great job shaking off the rough first half to get the team within a two-point conversion of tying the game in the fourth quarter. He went 12-for-15 for 131 yards and a touchdown in the second half, but the third costly turnover from Mark Andrews and a dropped two-point conversion was the nail in the coffin.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had a subdued performance in the 28-22 Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams, finishing with just two receptions for 14 yards. Over the last three games, Brown has averaged two catches for 20 yards, a surprising dip for one of the league's most elite receivers. The Eagles have leaned heavily on Saquon Barkley and the ground game during this stretch, limiting Brown's opportunities. He hasn't found the end zone since Week 16 against the Cowboys, but his ability to stretch the field and make big plays remains critical to Philadelphia's success. As the Eagles prepare to host the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game, Brown's role in the passing attack will be pivotal.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert paced the team with four receptions for 56 yards, including a 31-yard catch, in the 28-22 Divisional Round victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Goedert's reliability in the passing game has been a consistent asset, especially as defenses focus on containing wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Over his last three outings, Goedert has averaged four receptions for 52.6 yards per game, proving his value as a dependable target for quarterback Jalen Hurts. His ability to create opportunities has been instrumental in keeping the Eagles' offense balanced. As the Eagles gear up to host the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship, Goedert's steady production will remain a key factor in their quest for a Super Bowl appearance.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott had a mixed outing in the 28-22 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. He converted just one of three extra-point attempts, with the snowy conditions playing a significant role in the second attempt. However, Elliott remained reliable on field goals, going three-for-three this game and extending his streak to 10 makes in his last 11 attempts. While Elliott's missed extra points have raised some concernsthis marks the second consecutive game with a misshis consistency on field goals has been crucial for the Eagles during their playoff push. As the Eagles prepare to host the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship, Elliott's ability to deliver under pressure will be vital in what could be another tightly contested playoff matchup.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith contributed four receptions for 27 yards in the team's 28-22 Divisional Round victory over the Los Angeles Rams. While the Eagles relied heavily on Saquon Barkley's dominant ground game, Smith proved reliable when his number was called. The passing attack has taken a backseat multiple times this season as the team leans on Barkley's historic performances. However, Smith's ability to make key catches and move the chains remains a vital part of Philadelphia's offensive strategy. As the Eagles prepare for a grudge match against the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship, Smith's role in complementing the running game with an efficient aerial attack will be crucial in maintaining their postseason success.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts played a pivotal role in Sunday's 28-22 Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams. Hurts completed 15 of 20 passes for 128 yards while adding seven carries for 70 rushing yards, including a 44-yard touchdown run on the opening drive that electrified the snow-covered crowd at Lincoln Financial Field. As for the passing game, Hurts completed 15 passes for 128 yards. Hurts showed resilience despite being sacked seven times and playing with a knee brace in the second half. He should be good to go for next week as the Eagles are set to host the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game. Hurts' ability to adapt and lead through adversity will be critical to Philadelphia's Super Bowl aspirations.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley delivered another historic performance in Sunday's 28-22 Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams. Barkley carried the ball 26 times for 205 yards and two touchdowns, including a 62-yard score in the first half and a game-clinching 78-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. He also added four receptions for 27 yards, showcasing his versatility in the snowy conditions. Remarkably, this was Barkley's second 200-yard rushing game against the Rams this season, bringing his total to an astonishing 534 scrimmage yards against Los Angeles in two meetings. His explosive plays once again proved to be the backbone of the Eagles' offense, accounting for the majority of their points. As the Eagles prepare to host the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game, Barkley's dominance will be key to securing a Super Bowl berth.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens could be traded if the team adds a No. 1 receiver during the offseason, according to Mark Kaboly of 93.7 The Fan. In a post on X responding to fan questions, Kaboly wrote, "Can they land somebody? If so, I do think they will move [Pickens]." It was a turbulent year for the 23-year-old, who drew head coach Mike Tomlin's ire for unsportsmanlike penalties and reportedly showed up late to the team's Christmas Day game. He missed three contests due to injury this year, and his production was somewhat inconsistent when he was healthy. Pickens finished the campaign with 59 receptions, 900 yards, and a career-low three touchdowns. There's no indication that Pittsburgh is done with Pickens or committed to trading him, but Kaboly's post suggests he could certainly be moved.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) said that he's confident he will be able to play in next Sunday's NFC Championship against the Washington Commanders, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports. Hurts suffered a knee injury during the Divisional Round on Sunday, but he was able to finish the game after missing just one play. Even though the star signal-caller confirmed to the media that he's good to go for next week's contest, fantasy managers and bettors should still monitor his status on the Eagles' injury reports over the next few days.

Dynasty | Ravens tight end Mark Andrews had five catches for 61 yards in a playoff loss to the Bills. Dynasty Analysis: He also dropped the would-be tying two-point conversion attempt and had a brutal fumble to position the Bills to win the game. This one will sting for quite some time as Andrews' mistakes really did cost the Ravens a chance to win. He had a brutal start to the season but came back strong in the second half. While not the elite-level dynasty asset he once was, Andrews should be back as a TE1/2 next season.
